Senators record the number of calls and letters they get on an issue. In most offices, a call carries the same weight as a letter. If enough people call their senator's office, the Senators will shape policy to what their constituents want.
Hatch introduces these radical bills all the time. This one is Pre-committee [loc.gov]. Nothing to see here folks, move along. Eventually the computer industry will step in and say this is crazy.
Here's the way a bill is normally passed. This one is about at step 2 1/2. 1. A senator and a member of the house get togather and write a bill. 2. They drop it in their respective drop boxes, and GPO prints it up. 3. The rules committee send it to committees for review. 4. Subcommitees tell their committees whether they want a hearing on it. 5. Hearings are held, and each bill is modified. 6. Assuming the bill doesn't die in Committee, and most of them do, it goes to the rules committee for the Senate and the House. A lot of them die this way, too. 7. The rules committee schedules a vote. If they don't, time passes, Congress adjourns, bill dies. 8. Both the House and Senate vote. If one doesn't support the bill, bill dies. These are timed votes, and if you can't get a majority within about 15 minutes (usually) that's it. 9. Assuming all of the above has occured, you get a conference committee of Representitives and Senators who will hammer out a comprimise between the House and Senate versions. If they can't agree, it dies. 10. Then the President can sign or veto. If he vetos, or refuses to act in 10 days (Pocket Veto), the bill dies UNLESS 2/3 of the House and Senate vote to override it. This rarely (in less than 1/10th of vetoes) occurs. If they don't, the bill dies.
All of this has to occur in about 5 1/2 months. I don't think this one will get the fasttrack, and I certainly don't think the House will ever pass it.
1. They're laughing at us, but not for our lack of morality. 2. There are far easier ways to get a pension and health benefits. 3. A lot of people just don't understand the political process. 4. The Florida ballot was confusing and broke Florida law. The Democrat had to be printed right below the Republican, not third. 5. The liberals started screwing things up? Care to back that vague charge up, or continue trolling? 6. Oh please. Do you really think that Clinton cheating on his wife was so shocking to the American people? Half of our marrages end in divorce. 7. It still is an honor to serve. 8. The world is laughing at us because we can't get our head out of our ass and realize we have bigger problems then whether gays can marry or whether Kerry is an optimist. Let's worry about the bigger issues here, folks.
Nope, not the way it works. Here's how a bill gets passed. This one is about at step 2 1/2. 1. A senator and a member of the house get togather and write a bill. 2. They drop it in their respective drop boxes, and GPO prints it up. 3. Committee representitives say whether they want a hearing on it. 4.

Not really. For every quack in the pocket of Disney who introduces a fascist copyright bill, there's a quack in the pocket of Dell or HP there to oppose him. It's like checks and balances on crazy.
I didn't know compaq makes good printers... I have a Compaq IJ600 and it's a piece of junk that drinks ink. When I think of quality printers, I think of HP and the Laserjet series, not Compaq and the IJ trash. It also took forever to get running on Linux.
God, I love cocane. Cocane gives people stress relief, it's good for society! Would you rather people go through their shitty job cranky or fucked-up? Let's face it, there are plenty of injustices in the world that require more attention than any injustices caused by cocane, be it in cocane or crack form. It's only when people lose their cocane that it becomes a problem.

IIRC, Scientific American had an article a few years back about how to make a stable kite cam with a disposible (read: invincible) camera. Here's a link, but it costs $$$.
You are doubly missing the point. First, the point is not what you can do or should do, but what you must do. Second, this case is about what one must do in the investigation of a crime; thus, the ambulance example does not apply.
The supreme court claims that the principles of a Terry stop require your name. Interestingly enough, Terry clearly said that you don't have to answer. For this reason, I feel the decision is self-contradicting.
They attempt to rationalize this as below:
You have to answer, but if your answer matters, it and anything else you say may be thrown out (From end of decision follows)(possibly the only saving grace in this mess of an opinion): Still, a case may arise where there is a substantial allegation that furnishing identity at the time of a stop would have given the police a link in the chain of evidence needed to convict the individual of a separate offense. In that case, the court can then consider whether the privilege applies, and, if the Fifth Amendment has been violated, what remedy must follow. We need not resolve those questions here. The judgment of the Nevada Supreme Court is Affirmed.
No, actually, they can. If you refuse, you will likely be arrested because it is suspicious that you aren't giving your name. Combined with Terry stops, this makes facist-style checkpoints very easy, and in the information age, one could track the movements of a citizenry. Remember the true meaning of Catch-22: They can do whatever we don't prevent them from doing.
These are Iraqi politics, the politics that if you dislike your neighbor, you can call the police on him/her and he/she must comply. The US has crossed a grave line. Previously, one could require blood, urine, DNA, et cetera for evidence, but now the contents of the mind can be demanded. This crosses a dire border, and I fear for the future of the Constitutional Liberties of Americans.
The CD is the vector. Give it to a friend, it perpetuates. Direct-copy it, it probably perpetuates. Remember, worms perpetuate without user action. Viruses perpetuate with user action.
Seriously: How does someone so blatantly shortsighted manage to breathe?

If it's been published on the prestigious trade journal 'alt.sci.physics.acoustics', it must be true!
Ha. They'll shut down radio shack. And you'll need a transistor and solder liscense. And unprotected hard drives will be punishable by monkies.
I, personally, start worrying at 6, or if the bill goes into fasttrack, by which it skips the committee process.

Bah, I'm stupid. Rereading comment, change 3 to: 3. Rules committee sends bill to committees.
1. They're laughing at us, but not for our lack of morality.
2. There are far easier ways to get a pension and health benefits.
3. A lot of people just don't understand the political process.
4. The Florida ballot was confusing and broke Florida law. The Democrat had to be printed right below the Republican, not third.

Make it so you can open all links on a page in new tabs, and the browser will sort them by content.
Also, it would be awesome if using the internet were more like playing Fallout. That was a great game.
Finally, something to put Las Vegas on the maps! :-)

They're thinking, "We'll pawn them off on schools to pay our lawsuits." And it's working quite well.
I know that guy! No, seriously, he's my Multivar Prof! The monkey is named Leaky, after the archaeologist, not the fact that Leaky is, well, leaky.
